Influence of Content of Crosslinking Agent on the Micromechanical Properties of Glass-Filled Polyamide 6

Abstract:

The process of radiation crosslinking helps to improve some mechanical properties of polymer materials. Some types of polymers do not cross-link during radiation crosslinking but degrade. In order to create 3D net in the polymer structure it is necessary to add a crosslinking agent. The specimens were prepared by injection technology with the TAIC crosslinking agent at 0, 1, 2 and 3 %. The changes of micromechanical properties of the surface layer were measured by instrumented microhardness test. It was found that micromechanical properties of the surface layer of the tested polyamide changed.
